Soft-touch precision — flexible SLA parts with a smooth surface.
Flexible resin 3D printing at KAD3D — Soft-touch precision — flexible SLA parts with a smooth surface.
KS198S is Kings' flexible SLA resin at around Shore 82A: it prints smooth, detailed rubber-like parts that SLA's surface quality makes cleaner than filament TPU, suited to seals, grips and ergonomic form studies. It tears under aggressive elongation and drifts under prolonged UV.
This flexible resin is used for soft-touch and ergonomic parts — grips, seals, gaskets and wearable shapes — where a rubber-like feel is needed with fine SLA detail.
Typical applications include Seals, ergonomic grips, wearable form studies, and cushioning.
Produced with SLA, Flexible resin 3D printing typically offers a tensile strength around 6 MPa, elongation at break near 120%, a density of 1.12 g/cm³, a hardness of 82A Shore and water absorption around 1.0%. Full technical data is listed in the table below.
For dimensional work, KS198S Flexible Resin supports a typical layer height or tolerance of ±0.10–0.20 mm or ±0.2%.
This makes KS198S Flexible Resin a strong choice for parts that need flexible / rubber-like and fine detail.
Finishing options for KS198S Flexible Resin include Painting / Priming.
Standard turnaround for KS198S Flexible Resin is 10 business days, with an express option in 2–4 business days, from order confirmation and delivered Australia-wide.
Often chosen by Melbourne and Adelaide product teams for seals, grips and wearable form studies where a smooth, detailed soft-touch part is needed.
Stands in for moulded soft rubber for prototyping.
Smooth, soft-touch surface off the printer; cleaner detail than filament TPU but difficult to sand. The most popular finish is Print in the final form; flexible resins are difficult to sand. Available translucent, per manufacturer. Maximum build size is up to 2700 × 900 × 800 mm.
SLA (stereolithography) cures liquid resin with a precise light source, giving smooth surfaces and fine detail that suit visual models and master patterns. You can read more about the SLA process on Wikipedia.
